Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a plant diagram with 5 blank boxes pointing to different parts of the plant. Below, we have a list of
Parts: Flower, Fruit, Stem, Leaf, Root — and a list of
Functions:
- Helps in reproduction
- Supports the plant
- Performs photosynthesis
- Protects the seeds
- Absorbs water & minerals
Our job is to match each part to its correct function and fill in the boxes accordingly.

Step 1: Look at the top-left box — it points to the small yellowish structures near the top of the plant. These are
flowers.
→ Function of flower:
Helps in reproduction (because flowers make seeds for new plants).
Step 2: The box on the right side, middle-upper area, points to one of the green flat structures — that’s a
leaf.
→ Function of leaf:
Performs photosynthesis (leaves use sunlight to make food for the plant).
Step 3: The box on the left, middle-lower area, points to the round object hanging from the plant — that’s a
fruit (like a tomato).
→ Function of fruit:
Protects the seeds (the fruit surrounds and protects the seeds inside).
Step 4: The box on the right, lower area, points to the main upright structure holding up the leaves and fruit — that’s the
stem.
→ Function of stem:
Supports the plant (it holds everything up and carries water and nutrients).
Step 5: The bottom-left box points to the underground branching structures — those are
roots.
→ Function of roots:
Absorbs water & minerals (they take in what the plant needs from the soil).

Now let’s assign them clearly:
Top-left box →
Flower → Helps in reproduction
Right-middle box →
Leaf → Performs photosynthesis
Left-middle box →
Fruit → Protects the seeds
Right-lower box →
Stem → Supports the plant
Bottom-left box →
Root → Absorbs water & minerals
All parts and functions are now matched correctly.
Final Answer:
Top-left box: Flower – Helps in reproduction
Right-middle box: Leaf – Performs photosynthesis
Left-middle box: Fruit – Protects the seeds
Right-lower box: Stem – Supports the plant
Bottom-left box: Root – Absorbs water & minerals
